I will replace 4 incandescent lightbulb(s) with Energy Star-certified LED bulbs, saving up to $14 per fixture per year.

I will help others in need and prevent useful items from going to landfill by donating 10 items.

I will repair an item, such as clothing or an appliance, for myself, a friend, family member, or neighbor.

Contamination prevents what is recyclable from being recycled. I will spend 30 minutes learning about which items are recyclable both at my workplace and at home since they may be different, and recycle only those items.

I will spend at least 5 minutes learning how to differentiate between sell by, use by, and best by dates.

I will make 1 appointments to support my health and well-being (primary care provider, dental, vision, etc.)

I will switch to washing my clothes in cold water, saving up to 1,600 lbs of CO2 over the course of the next year.

I will spend 60 minute(s) learning about constructive communication.

I will adjust my thermostat down 2 degrees from usual when I use the heat, and up 2 degrees when I use air conditioning.

I will purchase produce and/or meat from a local farmers market or food co-op to make 1 locally-sourced meals.

I will select a greener option when purchasing supplies, such as products that have environmental certifications, less packaging, or other environmental attributes, or come from local vendors.

I will write down three things every day that I am grateful for every day.

I will donate blood in my community to make sure there are adequate supplies for routine medical services and emergencies.

I will work from home 30 day(s) to avoid my commute's carbon output.

I will keep 10 disposable cup(s) and/or bottle(s) from entering the waste stream by using a reusable water bottle, cup, or mug.
